Ben Means comes from the old school of cowboys and cow
dogs. His standard for selecting and training dogs is based on the
Code of the West.

"Write it in your heart. Stand by the code,
and it will stand by you. Ask no more and give no less than honesty,
courage, generosity and fairness."

Ben developed his training
program based on sound, common-sense training methods cohered with over 47
years of experience. He has been one of the leading cattle dog
trainers in this country for nearly all those years. A Border Collie breeder for
over 45 years, he also worked Australian Kelpies for about a dozen years,
and has trained Australian Cattle Dogs, Australian Shepherds, and herding
cross-breeds with his
methods.

"WHATEVER YOU DO, WORK AT IT
WITH ALL YOUR HEART..."

Our definition of a started dog
is one that has all his commands on him by 30 - 45 days, depending on the
dog's aptitude, obeys those commands, and has been trained on cattle.
